Gold plated circuit board and contact springs for low impedance

The onboard plate and contact springs of the NW-A50 that connect the circuit board to the aluminium milled frame are both plated with gold. The results are powerful bass and a clear mid-range.

Ergonomic to hold, with a premium, curved aluminium body, the NW-A50 fits in the palm of your hand. Intuitive side key buttons let you control your music with ease.

Better BLUETOOTH® streaming

LDAC™ uses a conventional BLUETOOTH® connection, but transfers at a maximum data transfer rate of up to 990kbps – approximately three times that of other audio profiles. The result is enhanced wireless listening that's much closer to the artist's intention. Full aptX™ HD audio compatibility is available with a firmware update.

Music played from your computer sounds even better with USB DAC function

Use your NW-A50 Series as a USB DAC (Digital-Analogue Converter) by pairing it with a PC or Mac computer. When connected and activated using the supplied USB cable, the NW-A50 Series replaces your computer’s regular sound processing with its own, highly-tuned, hardware processing.

BLUETOOTH® Receiver mode to give your smartphone music a boost

Stream music through the NW-A50 via Bluetooth® and a smartphone connection and give all your music an NW-A50 boost. Favourite tracks will benefit from S-Master HX and DSEE HX upscaling, as well as Vinyl Processor and equaliser.

Up to 45 hours' battery life for longer listening

Perfect for commuting or when you want to enjoy your music all day, when fully charged you can enjoy up to 45 hours of music playback.

Even more music stored with the microSD card slot

Expand the already large memory of your NW-A50 with a microSD card – pop one in the slot to enjoy endless playlists and even the biggest music collections on the go.

MQA™ files played and decoded

The NW-A50 Series is compatible with playing and decoding MQA™ files, so you can play even more lossless-quality music.

Give the warmth and character of vinyl to digital tracks

Get lost again in the richness of your favourite albums with the Vinyl Processor. Enjoy subtle reproduction of the low-frequency resonance, tone-arm resistance and surface noise.

Specifications & Features

Take music to the next level with the incredible fidelity of High-Resolution Audio and colours to suit your lifestyle. The NW-A50 is made with precision engineering and quality parts such as a rigid aluminium milled frame and audio-grade lead-free circuit soldering spiked with gold, for crystal clear sound. Improved DSEE HX restores compressed audio files, and you can stream over BLUETOOTH® with LDAC to preserve the detail in every track.
